What color should salmon be raw?

Asked: Pamela Townsend, Last Updated:

Salmon should be reddish when it is raw and turns to pink when it has been cooked. If you notice that it has a grey opaque skin then it has gone bad. Other things to look for are milky residue, dark spots, or mold anywhere on the fish. Those are all signs that your salmon has spoiled.
